Question 1 of 5

A nurse is delegating care for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assign to the LPN?

A. A client who is scheduled for an endoscopy later today and requires an enema B. A newly admitted client who has sickle cell anemia and requires the development of an initial plan of care C. A client who had a myocardial infarction and will be transferring to the unit from the CCU D. A newly admitted client who has diabetes mellitus and requires initial teaching on self-administration of insulin

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because LPNs are trained to perform tasks like administering enemas. LPNs can safely carry out this procedure under the supervision of a registered nurse. The other options require higher levels of assessment and critical thinking skills, such as developing a plan of care for a client with sickle cell anemia (
B), caring for a client post-myocardial infarction (
C), and teaching self-administration of insulin to a client with diabetes mellitus (
D). These tasks involve complex assessments, interventions, and education that are typically within the scope of practice of a registered nurse.
Therefore, delegating the client who requires an enema to the LPN is appropriate as it aligns with their skill set and allows the registered nurse to focus on clients with more complex needs.
